Really fun and creative approach to mixing up a classic game, and well implemented! Also fits the theme perfectly.

Love the animation.
Interesting twist on Tetris. Though in the end, it plays very similar to the original.
I have noticed that once a row is formed, all figures disappear, not just one line. Is it intended?

Very fun game! Love the twist on Tetris!

@japayne Thanks baby boy :heart:
@baturinsky Thank you! Yes, the rows were meant to work like in Tetris, but breaking up the sprites and separating blocks into new smaller blocks turned out to too much work to get in for the compo. It's a messy version of tetris :')
@triangle-point Thank you! It was great fun putting it together

Really interesting game! I really like running around the field and platforming on the field. Though I'll admit that some of the platforming could be better if there were less clipping and collision issues...

Either way, great job~

Very difficult game that is beyond my ken, alas. But I love the color scheme and the vibrant graphics. I was able to get a few shapes in place but that was about the extent of it. Even so, I like the idea of having Tetris combined with an avatar. Overall, very creative idea and it looks great. The sound effects have a retro feel and they fit in very well.

Turns out Tetris is really fun with platformer mechanics. TIL.

Physics was buggy (but entirely playable); I ended up halfway inside the floor a few times and I'm pretty sure some blocks were overlapping each other at some point. It also feels weird to be able to pull a block out of the bottom of the stack and leave the rest floating there, but I think that's less of a bug and more just the way things work in Tetris.

It is interesting idea, but it is very buggy, I can't even fill a row without getting stuck or blocks stuck into each other and such

It's like Tetris, but it's not. I can freely lift and move pieces afterwards.

The implementation is innovative and challenging, which is very appealing.
The game has expanded in scope and was very enjoyable :)

Really neat idea but definitely a big buggy still. I'd make the jump higher since you can get trapped a bit too easily. I like the animation of the dude!

Very cool idea for a gameplay mechanic! It only needs wall jumping and it will be perfect!

The player character animation is really cool!

Good job!

@pengu123 thanks man, some more time to spend on the platforming bits would be lovely

@gamebuilder thanks! glad you like the graphics and sfx!

@jacobwinters note to self that I'll spend at least an hour before final build to fix bugs like that! Thanks yeah, incorporating some way of making blocks stick if they're the only support for other blocks is something I wish I got the time to do.

@lorddaniel Thanks for good feedback - currently that part is the biggest source of frustration for me

@zundou thank you! hoping to expand the concept after the voting is over :)

@silkworm-sweatshop getting stuck really sucks, and it happens too often! Glad you like the anims, tried to put some love into them

OOo really creative idea! The art and animations were really sweet and it was fun to play. I think the only thing that had me struggling was pickup/drop being on space, I kept hitting space to jump out of habit and would end up picking up a block instead

Very cool concept! In practice it was quite hard to put stuff where I wanted while still leaving space to jump and not get stuck. As @rolly already suggested wall jumping would really free up movement. Allowing the character to crouch and squeeze into smaller spaces would also help with maneuverability. I particularly like the characters limb animation, very expressive. Great job!

I really like idea and the art of this game, the sounds are really satisfying, too, but I really had hard time playing it, perhaps I'm the wrong audience for it?

Before you could even place something sometimes blocks would basically block you out completely from being able to jump and stuff, which makes it almost impossible to win (make a row, actually) and makes you restart the game; picking up the blocks is a little uncomfortable? you always have to be on top of that and sometimes, especially when you're blocked out by flying in the air blocks, it is basically impossible to do so. I wish a could pick them by facing them?? There also were times when I would randomly teleport somewhere else which would mess up what i was initially doing, too. So yeah...

But i do feel like it's a great game with reaaally cool concept!! It sounds really cool, it's just i am really the wrong audience for it, so I couldn't have a lot of fun with it. But i do hope there will be a lot of people who could have a lot of fun instead!! you deserve your game get recognised so I really hope it will happen!

Please keep doing games and have fun with them!! I'm sure all of the future ones would turn out great as well!

It's a nice tetris twist, I really liked the character animations (that's what made me click on the thumbnail :smile: ).
I agree with most of the comments above, being able to jump just one block more could allow to unlock lots of situations, even if the teleport mechanic is a good way to avoid being stuck. Because it makes you loose points, it always feels like cheating a little

Nice game! I would have liked to be able to push pieces as well. Still great fun!

Ok this is a super cool twist on the classic tetris game but this is waaaaaay to hard. I couldn't finish with a positive score even after my 4th try. The problem is that you spend most time trying to put blocks in a certain place and failing, then getting stuck. If you had made a character that could fly it would have been more interesting. Also the character should have been 1 tile tall, not 2. Still a fun game, nice job!

Neat concept for combining falling blocks puzzle with platforming. Just felt like the character needs to be able to jump a little higher. I kept getting suck behind L and I pieces that are taller than two blocks.

Sometimes, the guy is in a piece. I love the animation and sounds effects

This is such a cute spin of such a classic game. It took me a second to figure out how to control everything (that is mostly a me issue) but it was superduper fun being able to stack things after they fell!
